is there many moves in judo that dont invlove grabbing that could be used in mma?

[Darkside]

yes there are

[graham cooke]

breakfalls ???? (well i use them a lot in MMA when im getting thrown around and slammed ) :D

[Darkside]

ive only been to 4 judo sessions, and i have learnt a few moves that could be applied to mma, i got to get used to wearing pyjamas now, its hard work wearing them things lol

I think you'd be hard pushed to find a judo technique that doesn't require grabbing your opponent.

[widge milward]

you can adapt most Judo throws to MMA, some more than others

[Duchman]

i just made my return to judo./.. FUck its hard.. hard hard

[dirty dick]

There are some judo throws that cant be executed in mma - it just depends who is executing the throw for the others

im a bit confused by the "grabbing" part?

if you transfer the handles that you use in bjj - you can do lots of moves in NoGi.

ie instead of grabbing the sleeve you grab the wrist

youve got to grab your opponent to do anything? as you cant strike in judo so that just leaves grabbing and throwing - and in order o throw you gotta grab?

I still dont understand the question

Hi!

The vast majority of judo throws, and indeed groundwork, can be executed without needing to grip (although to officially score, you need to have a grip to control the throw at the point of impact.)

Hooks work just as well.

I regularly do entire judo sessions without gripping.

How can you throw someone without grabbing them? you have to hold onto someone dont you? do you mean that you dont hold the gi? just body parts?

[Smiler]

Correct!

Use your hooks...trap the arm...grab the wrist...control the back of the head...

You don't need the gi...

Very Good idea smiler...

but one would have to be a very proficent judoka to undertake such a task, would he not, and not a part timer like myself?..:)

[dirty dick]

Not necessarily - just need to practice and drill as you would do any other technique

I think that every Judo technique will requite you grab your opponent in one way or other.

[Smiler]

Indeed, you do have to grab, but you don't need to grab the gi...

You don't need a gi to execute the vast majority of judo moves...

So here your saying you dont need to grab

Smiler

and here your saying you do?

brings me back to my original post - you HAVE TO GRAB but not necessarily the gi

[bigreddog]

Gripping is the term for getting a hold of the gi (top judoka make a lot of gripfighting generally)

Many judo (and bjj) moves don't rely on the gi, and a hooked neck or wrist work just as well as a purchase point

[Duchman]

Having not played judo for years. i have am having a awefull time going back into the groove.. Seems the bjj game has slowed me down..

And the cardio.. terrbile. :mad: i used be ok at it:( :(

[dirty dick]

In response to flameboy - I dont necessarily think you HAVE to grab (gi or body part) however it is limiting and understand where your coming from.
Are you going to a good club Dutchman?
